Racehorses Die While Racing Stewrds Protect Favourite Backers

Victorian racing has dug itself a very deep hole with it's today deemed Race 4 at Casterton a no race after the favourite fell at the first obstacle and all other completed the course but only the winner jumped all fences.For the record I am not a disgruntled punter,as all bets were refunded some twenty minutes after the winner jumped a fence were the favourite fell and trackmen placed "witches hats" in front which the winner was able to leap,but the second and third horses over the line failed to jump that fence which should have lead to the disqualification of the 2nd and 3rd horses and leaving the only horse to complete the assigned task,the winner,to claim victory,well almost.It seems it is one rule when the favourite falls and play -on if any other runner falls.Today's example will also have animal cruelty activists out again this week after the fallen favourite (Prince Vitality) was in a bad way after the mishap.I am no longer supporting Racing Victoria and urge all fair minded individuals to remember that Racing Victoria and Chief Steward (at-large) Terry Bailey run the MELBOURNE CUP- which I will no longer be betting on along with any Victorian Racing of any code as I did with tennis betting after Davydenko v Vassallo-Aurguello betting fiasco when Davydenko retired up a set and two breaks in a minor ATP tennis tournament and I have saved a fortune since thanks Nikolay and thanks Bailey.
